We spent our last day at the Mt. Rushmore KOA enjoying their facitilities and relaxing. Sarah Michael and I went on the water slide, went swimming in the pool and played mini golf.

Jessie went on a ride on a horse and she loved it, though she complained about butt and leg soreness later.

At dinner time we weren’t really hungry but at about 8:30pm we decided to use up the last of our firewood and cook over a fire a few hot dogs. It was a lot of fun and got us as close to roughing it as we would get on this trip.

While we ate our campfire dinner we started to see lightning over the hills. The clouds moved closer as did the lightning. The wind was really coming up too so we put up the awning and put everything away. It started to rain while we were in the RV and the lightning continued. Sarah Michael pulled out her new digital camera and made a video of the lightning.

It was a good end to our visit in the Black Hills and the KOA. We hope to come back!
